REDFANATIC Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Riely has already made "adjustments" to his staff. Thinking this is ones on his head. Quote Link to comment

Riley was his sole interview and hire because Eichorst wanted to bring him on as a head coach at one of his previous jobs. Yeah, fired Pelini on Sunday. Met with Riley on Monday or Tuesday. Hammered out a deal by Thurs night and announced on Friday I believe. Crazy. No one saw it coming, likely for good reason. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 3-6 in the last 9 games.....heading in the wrong direction. The first half woes, inconsistent play calling, and play clock management hasn't changed since Mike took over. Quote Link to comment

We're tried out all sorts of guys in the last decade: the narcissist/aloof guy, the psychotic emotional disaster guy, and now the nice guy. The result doesn't seem to change much except we get worse talent then the regime before. I assure you, coaching matters. 1 Quote Link to comment

In the Deed the Glory Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 At this point, I have to say no. SE will probably lose his job over this loss and the guy he put in charge. A new AD will come in (please Trev Alberts) and will find his guy. I can't think Riley survives this. He basically has to win the B1G West to keep his job. No way that is happening this season.

Maybe next year we can lower it to 4! Say what you want about Bo, but the guy can coach circles around nice guy Mike. No, it's not. He wins 6 games he'll be gone. Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I think if he gets to 6 wins and a bowl he'll save his job. But at this time this is a very difficult task. Losses are coming vs. OSU, Wisky, and Ped State. I also think Purdue and Minny likely beat us (pissed at how easy it is for other teams to change coaches and have instant success). Iowa is a toss-up. So we need to win the next 2 games vs Rutgers and Illinois. I say we beat Northwestern. So we have to have wins vs. Rutgers, Illinois, and Northwestern. That only gets us to 4 wins. Holy crap. Plus a couple of these losses are likely blow outs. We have to get serious about a plan B (Stoops as AD and a new coach like Frost, Aranda, or ?). Quote Link to comment

For one thing, we can never quite catch up with recruiting if keep firing guys. We're going to have to ride Riley down. recruiting isn't the problem- ask the coach who just beat us how many 4 stars he had on his team Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 For what it's worth, I don't think Riley will be back and I hope he isn't. The ginger assassin speaking today is not a good sign. If he had to consider where Iowa was at for Pelini, there is no way in hell he can apply that same logic to Northern Illinois and come to and different conclusion. The only real question is if Eichorst will have the opportunity to make the change or if it will be his replacement. I'm guessing the latter. Quote Link to comment
